Alan Gates commented on PIG-928: -------------------------------- ScriptEngine is a new public interface for Pig once we commit this patch. We need to declare this as public and it's stability level (evolving I'm guessing since its new, but I'm open to arguments for other levels). See PIG-1311 for info on how to do this. > UDFs in scripting languages > --------------------------- > > Key: PIG-928 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-928 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Aniket Mokashi > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > Attachments: calltrace.png, package.zip, PIG-928.patch, > pig-greek.tgz, pig.scripting.patch.arnab, pyg.tgz, RegisterPythonUDF3.patch, > RegisterPythonUDF4.patch, RegisterPythonUDF_Final.patch, > RegisterPythonUDFFinale.patch, RegisterPythonUDFFinale3.patch, > RegisterPythonUDFFinale4.patch, RegisterPythonUDFFinale5.patch, > RegisterScriptUDFDefineParse.patch, scripting.tgz, scripting.tgz, test.zip > > > It should be possible to write UDFs in scripting languages such as python, > ruby, etc. This frees users from needing to compile Java, generate a jar, > etc. It also opens Pig to programmers who prefer scripting languages over > Java. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
